Alright, I have watched the videos. I need to do a better taper than I have been doing. I do have one more question; Regarding stitching the bury. Is this stitching along the length of the bury, from where it ends back to the eye or is it simply across the end area of the bury? The directions for stitching on the site did not quite penetrate my brain properly.

I found out what happens when you forget to cut the taper, before pulling the splice through. Was splicing zing-it, put the locked Brummel, went to pull the bury, and I couldn't get it to pull through. As much as I fought, it just wouldn't go. A forehead slap later, and then a now cut taper, and it pulled through easy. It had been a while since I had spliced, and forgot this one simple thing. The rest of my splices went fine......RR
